Once you go 1/8 . . . you won't go back.

welp ive never gone 1/8 so idk!! and yes lol...

i have a crt that is complete RTR.
and an xt8 that has motor mount and 16018.

i will either get a diff motor or just swap them out or sell one roller or idk! i will figure it out once it comes!!

and WAHOO!!! it should hopefully freakin come!! if not i will be at the post office asking for my package =)

i get my mail from 2 untill around 4 usually.

it is 245 now.

i hate this stupid wait!!

im glad that i didnt have to work today!! =)

o and ncalenda.

try and stay away from the .5 ya it looks like a fun conversion and i did one myself. the truck just isnt all that great imo.

if you notice most people buy them and putem together then sell them.

they just arent too cool.

gl with your decision!

it came!

wow. the truck is freakin insane. idk how im going to be able to control that on the track.

there are a couple weird things about it but that will get better once i learn to drive it and stuff!!

mikes stuff also came!! DAMN he has some good service.

i will be putting the xt8 together soon and ill get some pics of that up here.

Nice to hear you got it. What do you mean a couple "weird" things about it? Any questions I can answer?

going to pm you now =)

so i put the xt8 together.

im going to sell almost everything i have and try to keep this. if we end up needing more money then i will have to sell it...

but for now =)

idk what im going to do with the evo 25 but for now i guess ill use it for this truck. id keep it because the power is awsome but the runtime freakin blows. less than 20 minutes then takes over an hour to charge. i dont want to charge it at more than 5A because i feel like i will puff it...


once i sell 1600 worth of my stuff (after xmas)... i hope)(
i will start buying little things for this. here is my listt

some type of chrome black rims!
black proline downforce wing (if they have them)
chassis brace
A123 cells
maybe a new body and paint it black! (can i take off the paint of one of my bodies and repaint it)
NEW RADIO SYSTEMMMM my spektrum is acting up. but which one? dx3r? react? FASST? m11?

thanks!

Wow, that batt strap looks pretty, uh ghetto........lol

Hows she run? When are you going to the track to test her out?

How much does it weight? And, I would be interested to see how it runs, as well.

Looks good man, glad you can keep one of 'em. Hope everything works out for you and the cash I sent you for the LiPo helps. Good luck!

lol the battery strap was for todays first test run. dont worry... it wont be there for long... maybe:na:


the truck runs really nice actually (alot nicer than the crt) but the only problem is my spektrum is messing up so i have VERY little range.

ill take it to the track wendnesday.

the truck weighs aprox 9.4 lbs with the battery and everything RTR.



and ya i am glad i kept one too.. i knew i would regret it later but i have aqwut to thank. he really motivated me to keep one! :lol:

anyways ya your money will DEFINETLY help. i just scored a fat check at work today so YESS!!! (that money is used for christmas presents though... probably..)

anyways!

thanks!

I think I'm going to get the xt8, now is there anything I need to upgrade?

When I look at the list of options they have, there are not that many.

I would assume the diffs are strong, looking at some pics, they look really good.

there is nothing needed to upgrade the xt8 - it's very strong in stock form - a very well bred machine.

i'm about a month away from racing mine - so i can report back with race results on how she holds up on the track.

if you plan on racing it on a tight technical track, the chassis stiffening plate that mike sells isn't necessary. i took mine off and also removed the aluminum front and rear braces. this truck flexes now in the turns and gets more traction. this truck pulls hard out of corners and is a blast to drive!:yes:

ya i doint think really anything is needed.

maybe knuckles. thats only if you break one though which i doubt it. the way i describe all the parts is like having a FULL RPM truck. all of the plastic is thick as hell and the truck is just put together extremely nice.
